In the early 1940s, two army huts were purchased from the War Assets Realisation Board and hauled up the hill and set down on the highest point in Raumati South, as separate buildings. The tool shed and the workshop. They're still here. But you wouldn’t know it.

Joined together over the following two decades, extensively added to in 1960, a second storey added in the 1970s, and comprehensively refurbished over the past four years, this three-bedroom home now wears its history lightly while delivering everything modern coastal living should.

Yes, there are 75 steps to the front door. They're also what gives you everything that follows: a hilltop position no one can build out, sweeping views west across Kapiti Island to the South Island, the Kāpiti escarpment rising to the east, and a peace and tranquillity most coastal homes never quite achieve.

Coffee with the sunrise from the east-facing deck among the birdsong. Large bifold doors open to a west-facing deck where you can sit and admire the glorious sunsets. A warm, sun-drenched home in between the two outlooks. The all-day sun means the home is beautifully warm and dry.

The recent modern refurbishment leaves nothing pressing to do. The house has a new roof and a partial re-clad with new insulation, freshly painted inside and out, fully rewired and replumbed, partially double-glazed, a modern kitchen with a butler's pantry, and a refreshed bathroom.

A carport sits below, with two handy sheds on site for storing tools, bikes, boards, and beach gear. Established gardens and private terraced lawns are designed for low maintenance, giving you more time for the five-minute stroll to the beach, or a wander to the village hubs of Raumati Beach and Raumati South on either side.

Situated in ever popular Raumati South one street back from the beach, close to the village, shops, transport, schools, parks, the beach, expressway, and so much more at your doorstep, there isn't much left to be desired!

Think about this. In uncertain times, this house assures you - no flood risk, not in a ponding area, and you’re outside the tsunami evacuation zone. Your neighbours will be coming to you!

3 bedrooms (two large, one small) / 1 bathroom + 2 toilets / 154m² floor / 532m² section / two storeys

This is a coastal retreat ones street back from the beach with privacy, peace, and a story to tell. It’s ideal for those who'll happily trade the steps for the kind of view, tranquility and character you won’t get with just any property.

Ideal for adventurous empty nesters, professional couples, or anyone looking for a lock-up-and-leave at the beach with income potential.
